It’s the most wonderful time of the year: the time when, yes, we gather again with friends and family to celebrate the season. But it’s also one our favourite times here at the magazine: when we get to crown the Western Living Home of the Year.
Our 5th Annual WL Home of the Year celebrates the top designs in 2021, published by Western Living over the past year. From a gem of a Whistler cabin that preserved its vintage charm, to a holiday home that brings a beach vibe to West Vancouver, each of these homes is stunning through and through.
And it’s all on you to vote which one deserves the title of our 2021 Home of the Year.
Have a look through the top 14 finalists below—each links to their original story—and get ready to vote.
Once you’ve chosen your favourite home, scroll to the bottom to the poll, where you can vote. You can vote as many times as you’d like, and tell your friends to do the same (#WLHomeoftheYear)!
We’ll be narrowing it down to the top five on Wednesday, December 8, and crowning the victor—2021’s Western Living Home of the Year—on Wednesday, December 15.
Of course, every one of these homes that’s made it to our finalist list is a winnerand full of inspiring ideas.
